From the National Weather Service in Duluth - July 10, 2026
Into the weekend, excessive heat and humidity is expected to build into the Northland. The peak of this heat wave is expected on Sunday and Monday. It will NOT be a dry heat, with dew point values in the high 60s to low 70s expected. Heat Advisories and/or Excessive Heat Warnings will be needed. If working or recreating outside, be sure to pay attention to how you are feeling, take frequent breaks, stay hydrated, and have a cooling strategy.

Today and through the weekend will largely be characterized by increasing heat and humidity. With that greater moisture comes a slight chance for rain shower and thunderstorm development in the afternoon and evening today and Saturday. While chances are not super high, if thunderstorms are able to develop, a few stronger storms with gusty winds up to 50 mph and small hail are possible, along with a quick downpour. Keep an eye to sky if outside over the next couple of days!
